Smart Today

What it is

Most people train on a routine they never told the app about. Push, pull, legs. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. Maybe Sunday if you missed a day. Smart Today spots that pattern on its own. When you open the Log screen, it shows a pick for today that fits how you really train.

How it spots your pattern

Smart Today looks for an A, B, C style rotation in two ways.

By your saved routines

Say you train from the same saved routines each week. Kinoku groups your workouts by which routine you used. Three routines in a steady cycle reads as a push, pull, legs rotation. You set up nothing.

By what each session worked

Say you don’t use saved routines. Maybe you just train on the fly. Kinoku still checks which muscle groups each session hit. It then groups sessions that look alike. Two sessions that share at least 70% of the same muscle groups count as the same kind of day. The math behind this is called a Jaccard score, but you never have to think about it.

Either way, Kinoku finds your rotation. You don’t have to spell it out.

Rotation groups

Once a rotation is found, you can name it as a Rotation Group, like “Push / Pull / Legs.” It links the matching routines or sessions. Smart Today then picks from the group using a few rules:

• It won’t push you past your week. If you already did A and B this week and you’re low on recovery, it won’t keep nudging C. It may suggest a rest day or an easy day instead.
• It spreads the work out. The pick leans toward the day you’ve trained least lately, not just least this week.
• Sore muscles win. If a muscle group needs more rest than the rotation expects, the freshness chips below take over.

Weekly cadence header

The top of the Log screen shows a Weekly Cadence header. It tracks your pace against a routine’s goal. If a routine is set to 3 times a week, you’ll see how many of those you’ve done so far. A row of day chips shows past sessions and the rest days ahead.

You can set the goal per routine:

• Weekly: a set number of sessions every 7 days
• Every N days: a fixed gap between sessions, for programs that need it
• Not scheduled: for on-the-fly routines that shouldn’t drive the count

Muscle freshness chips

A muscle is “fresh” when it has had enough rest to train hard again. Under the cadence header, a row of chips shows how each muscle group is doing right now:

• Fresh: rested and ready to go hard
• Active: trained lately, fine for moderate work
• Fatigued: heavy load lately, so go light or skip
• Overreached: sore and worked hard, so rest is the safer call

Tap a chip to open the muscle detail screen and see its recent load. These chips also shape the daily pick. A sore chest will steer the pick away from a push day and toward a pull or legs day.

Training roles on routines

Each routine carries a role: Main, Accessory, Run, or HIIT. Kinoku sets the role on its own. If you mostly bench, squat, and deadlift, it’s a Main day. If it’s all cable work, it’s an Accessory day. You can change the role any time.

Roles feed the rotation and the cadence count. Main days count toward your weekly goal. An accessory or core day doesn’t use up a slot.

Where it fits

Smart Today is part of the Pro plan. The deeper layers, like Pulse and recovery-aware picks, live in Pro and Elite too. You can still log every workout for free, with no cap on routines or history.
